Life and Soccer 2

Secrets

When Ulrich made it to the rim of the forest, he could see the flash of Yumi's hair turn around a tree. Briskly he pushed away leaves and branches, trying to catch up with the two before him. I know following Yumi isn't a bright idea, but I have to figure out what's up with this Jake kid..

Still tagging behind, Ulrich suddenly stopped when he reached a clearing. He ducked behind a bush as he saw Jake shoot glances everywhere before turning on Yumi. He put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her up against a tree, leaning in to kiss her.

"No, Jake.." Yumi whispered, pushing him away. Offended, he backed up, fire quickly growing in his eyes.

"You've been like this ever since I've met you! It's like you don't really want to love me or something!" The boy threw out his arms, turning his back to the Japanese girl.

"I don't know, I just don't think I like you as much as Ulr.." She stopped short, turning her gaze to a bush on her right. She locked eyes with the hiding boy, giving him a 'What the hell are you doing here' look. He could see the anger in her eyes as he gave a sheepish smile and shrugged.

The silent conversation was stopped when Jake rounded on the girl again, full-out fury in his eyes. There's that strange vibe I get from him again.. Yumi thought, as she looked at the angry boy.

"Ulrich, right? You were going to say Ulrich! Well guess what, I don't care that you think you like him more, because I want you. Whatever I want, I get, so deal with it! If you don't want me, then you won't ever want anyone else!"

Ulrich could see Jake lifting his hand, about to slap the girl, so he grabbed a rock and threw it at the other boy before he could do it. It hit Jake in the side, distracting him from Yumi and looking just in time to see someone in jeans running away. He shot a look at Yumi, then chased after the escaping person. Yumi took this chance and ran the other direction, quietly thanking Ulrich. He was about to hit me! How dare he even think about doing it! Now I really need to get back with Ulrich, before something happens to me.. By then she was in the cafeteria, but only waved to Aelita, continuing up to Ulrich's dorm.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake was still chasing after him, and Ulrich was running faster than he had in his whole life. He felt a branch whip his face and a little drop of liquid fall from the contact area. He just tried to hit Yumi! What the hell is he doing, thinking about hitting a girl? The one he claims to love at that! Ulrich hit the edge of the forest, then made it to the doors before Jake had a chance to see him. Panting, he walked up to his dorm, pushing it open to reveal Yumi sitting on his bed.

"Yumi! Are you okay?" He closed the door.

"Yes, I'm fine, what about you, what happened to your face?"

"Oh, nothing." He answered, as the girl got a band-aid and walked over to him.

"Here.." She reached out, putting it on his cheek. She locked eyes with him again, letting her finger tips run slowly down to his chin.

"I can't believe he tried to hit you, Yumi!" Ulrich said, trying not to focus on the fact that a certain girl was running her hand across his face and was less then a foot away from him.

"I know, but I'm just happy you stopped him." She smiled, pulling her hand away. It was stopped in the air by his, as he pulled it back and rested it on his cheek again. Ulrich grinned when Yumi didn't protest, as he laid one hand on her shoulder.

"Ow!" The raven-haired girl wailed, jumping back. She pushed the sleeve off to the side, revealing black finger marks right on the top of it. Quickly she did the same to the other side, it showing the same thing.

"Holy shit Yumi, who did that to you?" Ulrich gasped, staring at the marks.

"I don't know, when Jake pushed me into that tree I must of gotten it.. Oh god, Jake! If I don't go, he'll know I'm here!" She ran past him.

"You mean even after that your going back to him?" Ulrich asked, as he grabbed her hand.

"Don't worry, I'm going to break up with him. Just trust me, okay?" She leaned back, kissing him lightly on the lips before she ran out the door.

Why is everyone telling me to trust them all the sudden? Ulrich asked himself, as he touched his lips.

Ok, well I'm trying to stay in the rating T, so I won't get anymore violent than that. ReViEw!
